Making Good Food Choices 4.58/5(12)

4.58/512

A lot of times when you come home, you're hungry...like absolutely starving! The key is to have healthy, homemade food on hand for quick prep because let's face it, whatever you have at home is what you're going to end up eating.

Today I came home hungry and had some cabbage and pear handy... so I started thinking. I always have some healthy canned proteins on hand for emergencies like this, so I decided to whip together this super tasty, simple salad.

INGREDIENTS

Tuna

Cabbage

Onion

Pear

Little Bit of Fresh Ginger

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

A Little Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice

Dash of Chili Pepper

Dash of Black Pepper

A Squirt of Hot Sauce

What I'm trying to say here is that when you're in a hurry, you still need to be able to make good food choices, and the first step to that is always having good, healthy foods on hand. No excuses, after all summer is just around the corner. Don't forget to include fresh fruit and vegetables daily!

Hi Denise, This is called a broccoli salad but it can be considered an appetizer or even a late night snack. 1 large head broccoli-chopped 1/2 cup chopped celery. 1/2 cup chopped red onion. 1/2 cup sunflower seeds 1/2 cup raisins. 3/4 cup mayonnaise ( Hellmann’s ) 2 tbs. red wine vinegar 1 tbs. sugar lemon juice – pepper or lemon pepper- optional Yours looks so good. I will be trying it. So you can also cook. Not surprised.

Hi there beautiful. Just had your salad for a light dinner and it was scrumptious. Of course the best chefs improvise depending on the occasion or mood so try grilled chicken in the broccoli salad for a heartier meal. Happy eating.

Hi Denise,
Your advice I always take to heart. I will differently have healthy food on hand. I’m on my way back home, I am visiting Malibu until Saturday visiting my cousin. Monday we are flying to New York to sign the final adoption papers for my wife’s 7 year old niece. We are having twin girls in June.

Lemon zest is my secret ingredient in bean and tomato salads. Yours looks wofrldnuely refreshing with the mint. Thank goodness that summer is back and that the tomatoes are returning to the farmers markets.

Hello Denise. There’s one more thing. All red wine vinegars are not the same. Of course, it’s a matter of personal taste but I use Regina or Pompeian. The most expensive is not always the best. These are some of the least costly but I find to be the tastiest. If you don’t like one try another. Experimentation can be a good thing. It can make all the difference in the world. Hope you enjoy. There’s nothing like your smile. :)!
